Apple plans to open up to three official retail stores in
Australia this year, including two Sydney stores in the CBD and in
Chatswood and another in Chadstone, Victoria.
The stores, part of an aggressive international expansion by
Apple, will become part of the company's lucrative network of about
200 retail outlets worldwide.
Apple is now putting the finishing touches on its three-level
flagship store in the Sydney CBD, which is located on the corner of
George Street and King Street.
Over the past few weeks construction workers have closed off
part of George Street at night in order to install a transparent
glass facade at the store's entrance, which will house a large and
white suspended Apple logo.
The notoriously secretive company has said only that it plans to
open a store in the Sydney CBD, and would not comment when it was
asked to confirm the development of the other two stores. While it
won't say when the CBD store will open, it is believed the covers
will come off by June.
The job opportunities page on Apple's website reveals it is
actively seeking staff for all three stores. It is believed the
Chatswood store will be located in the Chatswood Chase Shopping
Centre, while the Chadstone store will open in the Chadstone
Shopping Centre.
Apple is rumoured to be flying some of the successful job
candidates up to Apple's headquarters in California in the US for
two weeks of training, followed by two weeks working in an American
Apple store. |
